Block Out All Distractions

While it’s true that your iPhone can be bad for you while you’re trying to study, you can use it to block annoying notifications or distractions by tweaking a few settings.

For starters, you can use Focus modes, which will silence unimportant notifications so you can pay attention to your studies. When you turn on a Focus mode, you can even change the Home Screen of your iPhone so it only shows you useful apps and hides all the other Home Screen pages until you turn the Focus mode off.

To create and customize your focus mode, go to Settings > Focus Mode.

Additionally, your iPhone can help block any apps taking up too much of your time. Thanks to the Screen Time settings, you can block a specific app or a category of apps, like games or social media apps, so you can only use them for a set amount of time during the day. 

To create app limits, go to Settings > Screen Time > App Limits. Add all the apps you want to limit, and your iPhone will block them once you’ve used them enough.
